Notes on operation

¥This unit is designed with the T-120 cassette tape as a reference.

¥Recording is possible up to 240 hours with this unit when the T-120 cassette tape is used.

¥Depending on the type of video cassette used, the recordable time will differ.

¥Depending on the type of tape used, it may be possible to record for slightly longer than the times shown in the ÒRecordable timeÓ column in the table above.

For example, 30 hours of recording are possible when a 120-minute tape is used with L24-hour mode.

¥Sound can be recorded in 6, L18 and L24 hour modes.

¥The L18-hour to 240-hour modes are time lapse modes. Pictures are recorded with frames skipped to enable lengthy recording and playback.

¥A tape recorded in the 6-hour mode can be played back in slow motion using the time lapse (L18-hour to 240-hour) mode.

¥A tape recorded in the 2-hour mode on a different VTR can be played back in the 2-hour mode.

¥Tapes recorded on this machine cannot be played back other VHS video recorder as they are not compatible.
